Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Not sure if compiz is the culprit.

~$ compiz --replace
Checking for Xgl: not present. 
xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
No whitelisted driver found
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/mutter 

I changed the default to mutter  (which required changing permissions on
/dev/nvidia0 and /dev/nvidctl to 666, but that's a different problem)

~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:	9.10

~$ apt-cache policy compiz

I expect compiz to just work
